The United States advanced to the quarterfinals of the Women's World Cup, beating 10-player Colombia 2-0 on Monday night in Edmonton.

Alex Morgan got the U.S. on the board early in the second half beating Colombia backup goalkeeper Stefany Castano at the near post to give her team the lead. Carli Lloyd added another goal from the penalty spot to effectively put the match away in the 65th minute.

Less than two minutes into the second half, Colombia's starting keeper Catalina Perez took Morgan down...

Daniela Montoya's booming goal from outside the penalty box in the 82nd minute helped Colombia recover for a 1-1 draw against Mexico in the women's World Cup in Moncton, New Brunswick, on Tuesday.

The late draw keeps both countries in search of their first World Cup victories.

Veronica Perez put Mexico up 1-0 in the 35th minute, turning after a corner kick and firing a right-footed shot that Colombian goalkeeper Castano Cardoso Derly Stefany was unable to keep from just crossing the line.
